Brothers Jacobi (12) and Noah Jupe (20)—adorable and ridiculously talented—dish on their new film Hamnet and bond with Kelly over the challenge of untangling Shakespeare’s famously twisty writing.
Jacobi, who got his start around 2021 with early TV roles before stealing scenes in Disney’s Peter Pan & Wendy (2023), is now stepping into the spotlight as Hamnet himself. Noah, who’s been acting since 2015 and broke out with The Night Manager (2016) before headlining films like Wonder and A Quiet Place, beams with big-bro energy as they share the stage.
Jacobi even stuns Noah and Kelly with a special reading from A Midsummer Night’s Dream, proving the Jupe brothers can charm just as easily off-screen as they do on it.
Fresh music, bold entertainment, and men’s fashion—one tight email a week.
Hamnet, directed by Chloé Zhao and distributed by Focus Features, is set to release in 2025. Based on Maggie O’Farrell’s award-winning novel, the film blends historical drama with Zhao’s signature visual lyricism.
